My Celica: RIP :(

This is my Celica, such as she is. I don't have a shot of the engine bay yet, but you don't want to see a stock 2S-E shitbrick anyway. All these pictures were taken the day I got her, but as soon as I get home (in a month and a half :x ) I will take more detailed photos. Suggestions for repairs to make my car look nicer are appreciated.










Yes, that license plate does say '98 on the tag.

Surprisingly, I have not found any cancer on her, and she still pulls strong (you know, for a 2S-E). I can accelerate up a steep hill in 5th gear, so that makes me feel good about my crappy engine. She has about 199xxx miles on her. About to hit the big 200000! The wheels are from another Celica, as on of the stock 8 spokes on my car was damaged badly. I don't know if the wheels on my car now are OEM or aftermarket, anybody know?

 

I posted this in the East Coast meet thread, but I figured here is also a good place...

List of all the work I have done on my car, with approximate cost total:

4 new shocks/struts, KYB GR2s front, Sensa-Trac rear
both front CV axles (passenger side is a GT-S axle, as I wasn't actually there to buy the part...)
New drivers side tie-rod (inner and outer) Seriously, it looked like somebody had taken a sledge hammer and went at it
All new stereo, Kenwood KDC MP2035 headunit, Infinity Reference speakers (stock sizes)
Salvage yard grill piece (the plastic piece that says Celica) taken from an 88 coupe.
attempted to convert and charge the A/C system, found out compressor was fried. Haven't replaced it yet, but I was charged for labor to try to get it running...

Cost: approximately $800
Total Cost, including purchasing the car itself: $1800
